You would think, post-Plaxico and post-Pacman, that the NFL would want to be a little skittish around guns these days. Ah, but before then, it was a different time, and players could pack more steel than the Eiffel Tower.

(Maybe they’re just getting ready to relocate the franchise to Mogadishu.)

And hey, speaking of steel, it’s our old friends, the Pittsburgh Steelers! This is, as THE SPORTING BLOG notes, an old picture; they’re celebrating the 2006 Super Bowl, not the most recent. That all said, gentlemen, that’s a lot of guns.
